Benghazi Committee Shuts Down, Final Report Proves It Was All Bogus

Now that Donald Trump has won the presidential election, the committee investigating the Benghazi Embassy attacks have conveniently decided their services are no longer needed, proving what many of us have been saying for years now: It was all a Republican witch hunt to attack Hillary Clinton and waste millions and millions of taxpayer dollars.

While the committee chairman, Trey Gowdy, lead the with hunt every step of the way, the final report was added to the official house record without a single word from him. Wonder why? He’s accomplished his purpose and there’s now need for him to abuse his position to push his partisan, anti-Clinton agenda. USA Today explains:

The special committee was created in May 2014 to investigate the terrorist attacks at the U.S. compound in eastern Libya where four Americans died, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

In June, the Benghazi Committee report was endorsed by the Republican committee members but not the Democrats. It severely criticized military, CIA and Obama administration officials for their response as the attacks unfolded and their subsequent explanations to the American people. It accused the government of incompetence at various levels, including a failure to deploy needed military assets, CIA intelligence reports that were “rife with errors,” and misguided planning even in the midst of the violence. The report did not single out wrongdoing by then-secretary of State Hillary Clinton, although some Republicans on the panel alleged that overall concern for her political future influenced and hampered some of the decision-making surrounding policy in Libya.

Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State was revealed as part of the Benghazi investigation, but the committee did not investigate whether the setup led to improper handling of classified information. The FBI declined to pursue criminal charges regarding the email system, but it was a major issue in the 2016 presidential election.

Gowdy on Monday called the report the “final, definitive accounting” of the Benghazi attacks.

From this point forward, whenever any conservative shouts “But, But Benghazi!” to you, in reference to Hillary Clinton’s corruption, you can not-so-gently remind them that those principles went out the window after she lost the election, because apparently those principles only exist when it benefits one side’s (The GOP of course) political agenda.
